Happy New Year?
At this time of year I like to reflect on the twelve months that have just passed and try to anticipate the year ahead. Never in my memory has the financial landscape looked so uncertain, and uncertainty is bad for markets, bad for business, and most importantly bad for households. For me, the fate of the world economy and the prospects for financial markets in 2012 and 2013 depend primarily on the answers to three big questions:
Will the Euro zone crisis be resolved in a timely and effective manner? TheoutcomeoftheEurozonedebtcrisisremainsveryunclear,evenaftertheBrusselssummitofDecember,implyingthatthecrisisislikelytocontinueandpossiblyevenrisetoanothercrescendolaterthisyear.Will the US economy maintain its recent better performance? TheUnitedStates’improvementinperformancehasbeenonlypartial,limitedtocertainsectorsoftheeconomy,andwhilesomeoftheseimprovementsshouldbesustained,theoveralleconomyislikelytobeheldbackbymanyofthesameheadwindsthaterodedperformancelastyear.Will the Chinese economy avoid a hard landing in 2012?TheChineseeconomyremainsexcessivelydependentonexternaldemandandhenceacutelyvulnerabletothedeepeningdownturninEurope.Soeventhoughdomesticmonetaryandfiscalstimuluswillalmostcertainlybeemployedin2012,China’soverallgrowthrateseemslikelytobelowerthanin2010orearly2011.The OutlookInthedevelopedworldthenormalrecoveryprocessafterarecessionhasnotmaterialisedsincethecollapseofLehmanBrothers.Thereason,ofcourse,istheover-indebtedorimpairedstateofbalancesheets,particularlyinthehouseholdandfinancialsectors.Thismeansthatlargepartsofdevelopedeconomiesmustfocusondebtrepaymentbyrestrainingconsumptionandpostponingnewinvestment,leadingtosub-pareconomicgrowth.Inresponse,governmentsinitiallysteppeduptheir

Topic of the month: The Rotator Cuff Injury - the commonest shoulder problem
David V Jones BSc(Hons)DO Registered Osteopath
www.themalvernosteopath.co.uk
A couple of years ago I injured my own shoulder whilst trimming hedges in my garden. Although it is always difficult to diagnose one’s own ailments it did gradually become obvious that I had a rotator cuff injury.
What is the rotator cuff?The shoulder is a tremendously flexible joint. Like the hip, the shoulder is a ball and socket arrangement. However, unlike the hip, the socket is very shallow and the joint is termed an “incomplete” ball and socket. This allows an enormous range of movement but the down side is that the joint is intrinsically unstable and relies on just four small muscles to hold it together. These muscles are together known as the rotator cuff. How is it injured?All too easily is the simple answer. Tears of the cuff muscles are common especially as one gets older. This is partly because the different shoulder muscles weaken at different rates. The resulting muscle imbalance leads to tightening of the joint.
Additionally one of the cuff muscles called the Supraspinatus passes through a tunnel of bone which becomes narrower with age due to degenerative change. Together these changes reduce one’s ability to perform overhead work. How is it treated?
Complete tears of the cuff muscles may require surgical repair. However the majority of cases are less severe and can be improved with more conservative measures. Steroid injections can be given, but too many of these will create other problems. In my clinics I use a selection of soft tissue techniques to stimulate healing and some medical acupuncture techniques to work on the more inaccessible muscles. Very specific exercises are also important in achieving a satisfactory result.But remember prevention is better than cure. Always be cautious about undertaking prolonged overhead work. It’s often cheaper to pay someone else to do it!
